Got to admit, its fantastic.
I'm in my fifties now and the ability to go on here and search for music that takes me back is great.
I have a diverse taste, I'm able to watch concerts such as U2, Big Country, ACDC, Alyson Moyet, Tears for Fears, The Undertones, The Sex Pistols, Oasis, and so much more. Many that I missed in my youth.
Not only music, but I'm able to watch videos of how to build a retaining wall, grow veg, fix a leak on a wall hanging toilet, pretty much anything you can think of.
Anybody else use this medium, and what for?

Do you ever go on YouTube to watch a music video and then 5 hours later find yourself watching a tutorial on how to talk to a giraffe?

Shuffle dancing managed to find me on Youtube. It's basically Northern Soul but for Yanks.

I can promise you that 'Hot Girls' in the title had nothing to do with me watching it.

Count Spatula is quite possibly the most random thing I've seen on there and I only found him when I was trying to prove to someone that there's a video for pretty much anything on YouTube.

Couple of stoners singing about cheese toast was also amusing.

Put "first amendment auditors" into YT searchbox.
They're basically a bunch of people that go around America filming army bases, police stations and government buildings and the like from public land.
Then security guards usually come out and try to tell them they can't film. The auditors tell them they can, and it escalates from there, with the Old Bill often being called out, and cameras being grabbed and scuffling ensuing.
Most entertaining. :mrgreen:

It was Youtube that showed me how to turn off the water on the downstairs toilet after the bowl cracked and there was a deep puddle of water in the middle of my kitchen floor. Thanks youtube.

(I didn't even know there was a screw you could turn to shut off the water; let alone where it was.)

YouTube is brilliant and the only form of social media I still use, being a spoon fed millennial the tutorial of how to change a bulb on a Peugeot 206 was invaluable.

I've 45 videos currently on it (Pstotto). It's mostly 1-take comedic stuff, I'm involved in serious academic work so any opportunity to be daft as a counterpoint to it all, I usually take, as quite a few posters on here already know. :-)

One can only be reasonable for so many hours in a day.

Apart from that, it's a good resource for so many things, as long as it doesn't take the place of doing real stuff, late night surfing not a good idea.

There needs to be one on how to respond on social media....

Maybe we can get a few "leading posters" on here to do it? ;)

Use it a lot for guitar tutorials.
Loads of useful videos on there for novices (like myself) and if there's a certain song you want to learn chances are someone will have done a video showing how to play it.

Also learnt how to replace a mixer tap, change bulbs on a Peugeot 308, and get the old computer game Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines to work on a Windows 10 PC!

It's time to start watching videos about how to work things you own.

I have.

I own a guitar, a mixer tap, a Peugeot 308 and a Windows 10 PC.

Thanks for the advice though.

If I'm ever halfway through watching a YouTube video on how to work a combine harvester it will help me remember that it's a waste of time as I don't actually own a combine harvester.

Check out "Stop a Douchebag".

Russians don't like waiting in traffic so if there's a jam they drive on the sidewalk, the "Stop a Douchebag" activists get in their way and, if they continue, put a big sticker on the car.

It's very hard not to be stereotypical but many of these Russians tend to be extremely entitled, or think they are a gangster or are actually a gangster and are armed.

Sometimes it ends in a fight, it's awesome.

I'm 3 hours deep into watching Beautiful South videos.

I keep finding songs I didn't even know existed.
